In recent events, the XRP cryptocurrency has faced a significant pullback amid a broader market correction. The negative sentiment surrounding the price of XRP was exacerbated by an interim appeal announcement from the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) regarding the ongoing XRP decision. Here are the important developments for the Ripple case…
These dates are important for the Ripple case
As Ripple, the company behind XRP, finds itself at a crucial juncture as it has to respond by September 1, the SEC has been given until September 8 to consider the subsequent responses sent by Ripple. This timeline is crucial as it will shape XRP’s legal stance and its potential repercussions on the cryptocurrency’s market performance.
The SEC’s court filing shed light on the essence of the argument, showing that the nature of the underlying assets rather than whether XRP is classified as a security is at the center of the issue. The filing clarifies that the SEC has no intention of pursuing an appeal review of the findings regarding the classification of XRP as a security. This statement raises relevant questions about the nature of the technology underlying XRP, which the SEC describes as computer code devoid of intrinsic value.
XRP price declines
Following this announcement, there was a surge in selling activity for XRP. As we reported on cryptokoin.com, this has raised concerns about the cryptocurrency’s price dropping below the $0.50 mark for a second consecutive trading session. Despite modest rebounds of 3.60% on Sunday and the previous 2.71% gain on Saturday, XRP has remained beleaguered by a significant drop of over 16% over the past week.
A closer examination of XRP’s price chart reveals a tangible impact, with the cryptocurrency giving up some of its weekend gains, resulting in a valuation of $0.5277. This price level marks a 2.03% drop from Sunday’s value, reflecting the ongoing uncertainty and market volatility that XRP is currently facing. The coming weeks have the potential to reshape the course of XRP’s legal battles and thus its performance in the cryptocurrency market. As Ripple and the SEC enter these critical legal proceedings, the broader cryptocurrency community will be watching closely to gauge the effects on XRP and the overall regulatory landscape.
